This is a great VR room build idea, unfortunately instead of posting a build DIY of a few simple things from Amazon, or a home improvement store some people want to try and charge a middle man fee. Just using google I found pretty much each component used to build this.
 
One of the harnesses used in the video
Ceiling hook
Fall protection lanyard
Rock Climbing Carbineers
 
I didn’t look too heavily beyond finding the exact harness, but already you have the majority of what you need and probably spent around $150.00, asking for $300.00 dollars to gather a few simple already manufactured items together for a DIY project is ridiculous.
cross posted this from /r/vive hopefully to save more people from wasting money.

$12 CLC drill/driver holster for your tool belt. So much less bending over and saves a ton of time freeing up both hands. Add a tool tether so if you’re in a lift or ladder the people under you are safe. Also saves the drill if you have butter-fingers.

Edit: Sorry. That’s two things.
You will not be unprotected on your initial climb in if you use a line launcher or something similar on one side to put a line over the cross of your roof to the other. You then tie the rope in to a fixed point on the other side (like a tree or car) using a sling.
I used a kong ball with a hole in it (https://www.amazon.com/KONG-Ball-Dog-Medium-Large/dp/B0002DHOJA) and tied a thin 100 lb test nylon rope to it then launched it across with a dog ball launcher (https://www.amazon.com/Chuckit-Classic-Launcher-Colors-Vary/dp/B00006IX59). Once the small nylon rope was across the roof, I then tied it to a 100 foot 5/8" rope (https://www.amazon.com/Guardian-Fall-Protection-01360-VL58-100/dp/B004EEPTDG) and pulled it back across the roof so I could safely tie in.
It adds a few minutes to the time to get on the roof but it is worth it as you will have very low risk of falling because you will always be tied in.
I also use fall protection whenever I need to get up on a ladder on my 2nd story home. I have several different anchors that I can hang ropes from depending upon where I need to work.
You should also always be tied in moving anchor to anchor, something like this comes in really handy if you need to move across a larger roof: http://www.fallprotectionpros.com/guardian-big-boss-dual-leg-lanyard.html
This is a great video for finding rafters when you nail the fall protection in:

All in all you would need to buy:
When I did this on my home I:
If your shingles are older this job will be tougher. Old shingles tend to tear instead of lifting.
I'll also recommend the ultimate focus tool, it basically does everything you need and makes you faster, which is something that gets you rehired, as for a bungee, this is a good one with a great length. I'm also a student so the Ultimate focus tool did hit my wallet, but it's well worth it.
They make tool lanyards for this purpose, however using the tool becomes slightly more difficult with it depending on how long the lanyard is.

would this work? or too big.. Honestly I would just use a plastic safety pin (plastic so the metal doesnt scratch the leather)

SPF 50 is a good idea. If you don't have a water jug it might not be a bad idea to get one.
Stay hydrated, wear your PPE if and when appropriate. If you have work gloves you might want to get a glove clip, it's the only way I can keep a pair of gloves for more than a day. Ergodyne Squids 3400 Glove Grabber, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ORK3M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JYo0Cb38RB73H
Not terribly comfortable, but it does the job and is relatively cheap.

Please please PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB until you know how to PROPERLY use that equipment (its really not hard, just Google it). Also, inspect the equipment when you get it for any defects.
this kinda looks like it it actually might be worth good money.
